A little progress

As you know from my last post, we were away from home all last week.  I took all my stitching gear with me, and unfortunately it just sat by the bed in our hotel the whole damn time.  I was so knackered after shifting heavy boxes and counting things all day that I just didn't have the energy.  Also it seemed to take us about 2 hours every time to have dinner.  Must have been all that cheese!  Since we've been home I've been doing some more work on my project for the Feeling Stitchy August Stitchalong.  They were really sweet and featured my pictures in their blog twice!  So now the pressure is on, I have to do some really good work before the end of the month.  I've been following the work of the others and I have to say I'm not sure my work will stand up to theirs.  Well I am just a beginner, really!  Still, I'm quite pleased with my progress so far.  Above is a sneak peek!
